Microfluidic label-free particle fractionation based on the inherent properties of
particles (e.g. cells, microorganisms, organelles) offers significant advantages over conventional techniques in terms of ease of
handling and usage, speed, and reduction in cost. We aim here to utilise our comprehensive network and solid experience to put to
use several microfluidics technologies to address important biomedical problems.
This workshop has three interdisciplinary and inter-related themes based on understanding and exploiting label-free
particle analysis:
Parasites – improve diagnosis by enriching parasites that occur at low concentrations; | ||
Bacteria: sorting of bacteria in different subpopulations based on morphology that is connected to pathogenicity; | ||
Rare cells: enrich rare stem cells for therapeutic use; |
To tackle these challenges we will cover a wide range of technologies such as:
Materials, processing and simulation of micro- and nanosystem components | ||
Microfluidics | ||
Integrated optics and electronics |
Oral presentations may be given by invited international experts, researchers, successful entrepreneurs,
and experienced industry people.
Poster sessions are planned in connection to the presentations where researchers and companies can present
their scientific work in the respective areas.
